PLEASANT RIDGE CLUB.

Our club met March 10th, and we
discussed the question Of "diversifica-
ton of crops"
F. N. Pfaff being called on to open
the discussion said: Gentlemen, we
must diversity our crops more than we
have been doing. Every should raise
wheat enough to do him and oats and
corn. We should pay more at
tention to the raising of grass than
we have been doing. By raising grass
and plenty of good hay for our stock,
we can save great deal of corn, and
the grass helps to improve our lands,
and it helps us in raising stock, and
the grass and stock will help us to
make manure and thus build up our
farms. We must curtail our tobacco
crops, though Tam not going to quit
raising tobacco entirely, but I'm first
going to try to make plenty Of wheat,
oats, corn and hay, vegetables of all
kinds such as potatoes, both Irish and
sweet, cabbage, &c Then | will try
to raise small crop of tobacco and
try to make that good. But raising
large crop of tobacco requires SO
much work that we are bound to neg
lect our other crops and also the i'm
proving of our lands.
Mr.. J. I. Leinback: What consti-
tutes happy life on farm? 1t is not
this one crop system, the culture of
tobacco. 1t is raising plenty of the
necessaries of life which we are bound
to have. By the raising Of tobacco
we have moved our graneries and
smokehouses North. Last summer |
had three fresh mich cows my least
boy, years old, was my herdsman.
He would take my cows out and at
tend to them twice day, and when
he was not out with the cattle he
would be putting leaves into my COW
stalls. [ had milk and butter plenty,
and [ tell you it takes no small guam
tity at my house, have large fam
ily Ihad up several young hogs which
1 fed principally upon milk. This is
what my youngest boy did while three
of my older boys and myself were
working on the farm trying to raise
tobacco and corn, &c. / consider my
youngest boy the most valuable hand
l have on my farm.
J MI. R. B. Flynt said | agree with

raise plenty of grain to do him. And

raising stock. By raising stock and
grass and can build up my farm
We ought prepare our land we'll for
wheat. Plow deep but not turn the
land too Deep. But for corn | don't
think it it matters how deep we turn
our land and then keep plowing deep
in cultivating your corn and get your
soil we'll mixed. But I don't think
we ought to quit raising tobacco en-
tirely. But don't go crazy over it as
we have done. But what we raise
make it good.
Mr.. A. D. Hulin: Gentleman |
agree with the rest of you on raising
tobacco. We raise too much. |
would like to see some Of you take
notice of what time you spend on
crop of tobacco. All the manure we
make and all the fertilizers we buy
the tobacco crop gets. We must raise
more grass and stock; one is essential
to the other. The best and most
valuable crop [ ever raised was clover.
[ know it was worth $50 an acre.
We don't prepare our land for wheat
as we should do The tobacco worms
keep us from it. This everlasting to-
bacco is always in the way-it's to-
bacco first, tobacco last and tobacco
all the time. We ought to pay more
attention to the raising of oats and
potatoes Potatoes are like the old
darkey's rabbit-they are good this
way and good that way-they are
good any way. They are good for the
old woman, good for the children,
good for the cattle, good for the pigs
and in fact they are good for every
thing. F. n. PFAFF.

CATAWBA COUNTY FARMERS CLUE

CATAwBA COUNTY FARMERS CLUB.
The Farmers County Club met in
Conover on Saturday, the 26th day of
March, 1887. Through the kindness
of the Faculty of Concordia College,
the Chapel was used as the place for
the meeting The house was called to
order by the President, j. W. Robin
son. Before proceeding to the regular
order of business, the President was
requested to address, the meeting, to
which he responded most acceptably.
He insisted on a thorough organiza-
tion, without which the farmers need
not expect to succeed He said that
each Club represents sheaf of wheat,
and the County Club represents the
shock. That in order to secure good
shock it is necessary that each sheaf
be so bound that it will stand without
the assistance of another, and then
when all are brought together they
cannot be easily overthrown. He
urged the farmers to be more united
in their calling, that in union alone is
strength. Said that nothing should
be said or done that would mar their
harmony; that if they would be true
to their calling brighter day would
surely dawn ere long.
The Constitution was then read
Roll was called. Each Club showed

in every county in the State, and then
these County Clubs to cooperate with

ganization we can more readily get at
